Alignment, Shock/Suspension Help.
 
I have been researching through many threads in the past few days about these topics to somewhat diagnose my own problem, but maybe someone will have some better feedback/help for me.

Within the past week, my 8 has started to have some alignment problems which I (think) may also be partly a shock problem. Lately, every bump i hit in the road, my car thumbs awfully hard. Not so much a bouncy feeling, but more a hard thud when it hits. I am going to get my car aligned this week as my steering wheel shakes a good bit when breaking and hitting small bumps. I also noticed upon a visual inspection that my rear wheels have a quite a bit of negative camber to them. I know some of you align your car with some negative camber, but the inside of my wheels are showing more wear than the outside.

My 8 has 80,000 on the original shocks and struts. Do you think they could be possibly going or have gone? Let me know if more information is needed to give more help... I can't really tell if there is much sag to the rear, but I can take pictures tomorrow if needed. Thanks in advance.
